Basheer Riskhan and Raza Muhammad

Abstract—Abstract—Advent of the cloud computing revolution, Docker technology becomes the crucial part of the virtualization in terms of high resource utilization, less overheads and better performance. Docker is evaluated by using Online Education system based on various extended level of users and extended level of Dockers by using Physical Machine and Linux benchmarking tools. CPU, Memory and Network resources are used as experimental variables. Finally a details analyst compare among the user level and Docker level. As a result, we conclude Docker has the near native performance during the usage of OE system, archived high resource utilization in single Docker by accessing more user as compare to more Dockers by accessing more users.

Index Terms—Index Terms—Docker, performance, online education system.
